If indeed i missread th gpl, kde/gnome duds can not give authorization to that distros to distribute their packages (something like Linus does not bother about binary-only kernel modules, even that it violates gpl). what will be next: per seat or per server licenses in kcontrol? talking about free win32 software: here is the url for kde 2.2 for windows (beta 1): http://kde-cygwin.sourceforge.net - diego -- Disclaimer: "These opinions are my own, though for a small fee they be yours too." -- Dave Haynie ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
